    Hi guys,

    I'm wondering...What percentage of twin pregnancies are delivered vaginally? Does anyone know?

    Thanks.

    My OB told me 40%, but that may be just in his practice. I know he recommends a section when baby b is not head down. Some still deliver vaginally as long as baby a is in the right position.

    around 45% according to my dr. she tries to deliver all twins vaginally. As long as baby a is head down she can usually turn baby b if it is breech as long as baby b is not much bigger than a.

    My doc's practice was higher, but they do perform breech extractions and will go ahead with a vaginal delivery as long as baby A is head down, no matter the position of B (given all other circumstances are favorable for a vaginal delivery).

    about 40%. It depends on a whole bunch of stuff of course.
